notes not sorting by date modified

pkhoosh
I have notes on most of my bibliographic entries and I want to search by the date I modified the note. When I sort by the most recent date modified, this only works for the main bibliographic item but does not include the notes that belong to those papers.

    Ever get a solution to this? I'm trying to figure this out right now!

    Same issue. Everytime I get back to work I have to search the note I was working on.

    "Date modified" (or any new search column) should reflect changes to child items too.

    Any help?

    Make a saved search:
    Date modified [is in the last] x days
    Item type=note

    It will still sort by parent item but you'll see the recently modified notes easily.

    Great and simple! Thank you for your quick answer.

    It would still be very helpful to add the ability to sort all child notes by date modified. Oddly the mobile web version does this--but it has another problem: it shows only a limited number of the child notes. I've asked for a modification to show all child notes--perhaps in successive screens.

    erazlogo, thank you for that workaround! Totally helping me find what I was writing about 2 weeks ago. Definite lifesaver being able to see what child notes had been modified when in my sprawling library.
